Setup AEM Forms code provided by adobe in my environment.

[shrsai]

Hi, 
I am trying to setup a forms code which is provided by adobe, I followed all the steps what is needed for settling the code setup.

 https://experienceleague.adobe.com/en/docs/experience-manager-65/content/forms/adaptive-forms-core-c... 

I copied the commands and paste it to command prompt through this doc, I got the code but wen I am trying to build the code it is throwing the error which I don't get it. 

Can anybody tell me what can be the issue?

Hi @shrsai,

Could you please share the command to create an AEM Archetype project? Also, kindly confirm if this is for on-prem or for a cloud environment. Finally, please specify the version for AEM Archetype.

For Reference I am providing you with the correct commands:

AEM as a cloud Service:
mvn -B org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.3.1:generate -D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.aem -D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype -D archetypeVersion=56 -D appTitle=myheadlessform -D appId=myheadlessform -D groupId=com.myheadlessform -D includeFormsheadless="y"

AEM on Prem:
mvn -B org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.3.1:generate -D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.aem -D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype -D archetypeVersion=56 -D appTitle="MyForm" -D appId="myform" -D groupId="com.myform" -D includeFormsenrollment="y" -D aemVersion="6.5.24"(Update "aemVersion"  depending on your AEM Version)

Thanks
Pranay

Hi Pranay,

Thank you for your reply!

It is AEM On-Prem:

AEM version: 6.5.23 

Archetype version: 35

   mvn -B org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.2.1:generate ^

   -D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.aem ^

   -D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype ^

   -D archetypeVersion=35 ^

   -D appTitle="My Form" ^

   -D appId="myform" ^

   -D groupId="com.myform" ^

   -D includeFormsenrollment="y" ^

   -D aemVersion="6.5.23"

Build is failing with this:

[INFO] BUILD FAILURE

Hi @shrsai ,

I can see that you are using a very old archetype. Request you to use the latest version of Maven Plugin and AEM Archetype. You can use the command below:

AEM on Prem:
mvn -B org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-archetype-plugin:3.3.1:generate -D archetypeGroupId=com.adobe.aem -D archetypeArtifactId=aem-project-archetype -D archetypeVersion=56 -D appTitle="MyForm" -D appId="myform" -D groupId="com.myform" -D includeFormsenrollment="y" -D aemVersion="6.5.23"

Thanks
Pranay
